U.K. anti-monopoly watchdog puts the brakes on Taboola-Outbrain merger
The U.K.s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has deferred approval of the merger between Taboola and Outbrain, two Israeli digital advertising platforms. The CMA will conduct an in-depth inquiry to determine if the merger will result in a substantial lessening of competition in the supply of content recommendation platform services to publishers in the U.K. The final decision is expected on December 23.
